Call for Presentations
We are accepting presentations from graduate students, research groups, and faculty for this event. Presentations should be 15 minutes in duration, with 5 minutes for questions (20 minutes total). Presentations can be about a past or current research project involving any GIS/mapping software product.
We are still looking for additional presenters for GIS Day 2026. Please consider submitting a presentation proposal - all are welcome! The event will be informal, and projects do not need to be completed or polished to present at the event. We look forward to hearing about your projects!
